"Vocaloid"? Why not? :)

Have you ever heard of the term "Vocaloid"?

If you haven't, why don't you try to know something about one special kind of music which becomes the new trend in Japan and America now but not yet raises it popularity in Australia~ :v

If you have heard about it but not in great details, why don't you read this Blog and learn more knowledge about "Vocaloid" :))

If you are big fan of this SUPER CATCHY music, this blog is made for you :>

First of all, for someone doesn't know, "Vocaloid" (ボーカロイド in Japanese) is a singing voice synthesizer, originally be created by Kenmochi Hideki (a Japanese producer). After that, Yamaha Corporation paid attention to his idea and continued to complete the Project and developed into the commercial product "Vocaloid." Isn't it too boring to hear about its history? Now I will show you what is the real "Vovaloid" :)

Hatsune Miku - This cute little girl is the most famous "Vocaloid"'s product <3

"Vocaloid", basically is a software that allows users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody.  Isn't it interesting if you can create your own music even through you're totally hopeless with any kind of music instrument? =))

"Vocaloid" concert

The term seems to be ... shock with someone. Normally, having a concert means you need at least one singer (real person) and a band (or not if there's an DJ >.<).

But no, now,without a real singer, a company can create a concert with the attention of hundreds, even thousands of people. Don't believe it? Check the video bellow :v

Again, we can understand how amazing technology this day is, we can see Miku in 3D version~

And "Vocaloid" has such a big impact to its fans~

The term "Cosplay" (for someone someone doesn't know is short term for "costume play", is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea from a work of fiction). 

Before "Vocaloid", only characters from Games or Comics are being "copied". However, look at the picture below to see what happens now :))

It's hard to tell that which one has the 2D characters and which has real people unless you zoom in the pictures, right? =))

Only people can do a cover? No, "Vocaloid" can even do both song and dance cover~

It started with the idea of Yamaha about remixing some popular song and making effect on their "Vocaloid"'s  character to copy the dance of that song. It raises interest for fans of both original version of the songs and "Vocaloid"'s hard fans.

I will give you an example that I love the most~
